Today, I saw a little old lady trying to cross the street. I went over and tried to help her. Turned out she was actually just a really short young woman. As soon as I took her arm, she screamed in front of everyone and accused me of trying to molest her. FML

Today, an old lady fell in the street, and I rushed to help her. As I tried to help her to her feet, she started screaming, "She pushed me! She pushed me!" I froze up in shock, and ended up being chased by some guy who thought I'd attacked her. FML

Today, I saw an elderly woman struggling to reach the top shelf in my local grocery store, so I went over and asked if she needed help. She then accused me of flirting with her and had me escorted from the property. FML

Today, I saw an elderly lady fall over in the street. Nobody bothered to do anything, so I went over and helped her up. Instead of thanking me, she called me a pervert and slapped me around with her cane. FML

Today, I was grocery shopping, when an elderly lady walked up to me and tripped over her own feet. I caught her by the arm, at which point she shrieked at me for "groping" her. She ended up smirking as security threw me out of the store. FML

Today, I saw an old man who needed help crossing the street. I went over to him and helped him across the street. When he thanked me, I said, "No problem, sir." They responded by hitting me in the happy sacks and screaming that they were a woman. FML

Today, I began to walk across the street when I saw a very familiar old lady struggle across it. I walked over to help her, and only after she had blown her rape whistle and socked me in the nuts did she realize I was her grandson. FML

Today, I saw an elderly woman in need of help of crossing a street. I helped her across. On the way she just about fell and held onto me to keep from hitting the ground. After she left on her bus I reached for my wallet. It was gone. I had just been robbed by a 70 year old. FML

Today, I bumped into a lady, apologised and tried to continue on. She screamed assault and tried to citizen's arrest me. I've got better things to do, so I ignored her but she latched onto my leg like a toddler. I ended up dragging this insane woman up the street until she finally let go. FML

Today, I was in a shopping centre when a little girl was running up and down the aisles. She started to fall over so I put my hand out to catch her. Her mother then ran up to me and screamed about me 'touching her child' so loud that everyone could hear. FML

Today, I was standing in a queue when an old lady turned, looked straight at me, and asked me to hold her bag. Confused, I took a hold of it. She started screaming for help claiming I was stealing her shopping. Turns out, she was talking to her husband behind me. FML

I think you were suppose to ask her if she needs help first.

Why would you grab her arm without asking her first?

It's intriguing how short people are so angry all the time, the infidels. It's as if they have very small view of the world. Inconsiderate little buggers. Next time just give a hug.

i'm not sure if you are being sarcastic but not all short people are angry all the time.

Why does everyone assume short people are old people?

Even an old lady is going to freak out if she's suddenly grabbed by a stranger. Announce yourself and your intentions next time. Goddamn.

Your intentions were good but I can sort of see her point. I'd probably be quite startled too if a random guy came up to me and grabbed my arm without saying anything

Being 5'1 and having had this happen to me too, I've got to tell you, consent is a thing. Scary as hell to be at the receiving end, no matter your intentions.

Wow really? You are an idiot. A stranger just walked up and grabbed her in public she MAY have overreacted a little but still she's not to blame here.

As others have said it's pretty presumptuous of you to just grab somebody like that, even had she been an old lady you should have asked if she needed or wanted your help in the first place.
